Trading the stockmarket (NO Referrals)

Its profitable right now but nobody is sure what'll happen and they only got the one mine.
Sad thing is they are actually better off now under the military then they were under democracy, its likely their court case will confirm ownership is legal.
Its result is delayed for another 6 months apparently but since the military own 50% of the mine and benefit from managements efforts I dont see they'll disrupt a valid source of cash for themselves

CEY is weak now and RMG is not showing any reason to buy yet. AGM looks great, Ive only heard of it briefly. To wait before doubling looks unusual.
I had sold some RMG and today took some HOC though its an old order, nothing looking positive

Profit!

Makes me relieved, I almost got rid of mine other day. If they are making profit already Iddon't see any reason to not keep them. If they can streamline their costs and improve parcel side of things looks good long term

Probably end up with less deliveries

I tell you your what I would like. One delivery on a Saturday! Would save me many trips to depot! I would opt in! But reasonably I do see a cut down in this over time

Should be a good dividend

A year? Is that typical in a new float?
I know some places do quarterly with one larger one

Dividends will normally be paid twice a year to shareholders and are a distribution of a portion of the company's profits.
We normally announce dividends at the same time as the annual and half-year results. Dividends are paid on a half-yearly basis. Royal Mail’s financial year end runs to the last Sunday in March each year. For each financial year it is our intention to pay any interim dividend in December or January and any final dividend in July or August subject to shareholder approval at the AGM.
 
My consolation, HOC went up more but only slightly. The company reports losing money but with some relief it rises.
I agree, it does look better now maybe it'll attempt 600 again as people believe its rated at 10 PE though Im not sure they can keep that up.

Positive over 560 but easier to say after close and strike discussions remain with some business lost to uncertainity. I sold some just to fund other ideas, my ftse tracker will be holding it anyway so Ive sold many big shares with that

edit:
some data on Cable - sterling. Since FTSE is priced in this unit, its strength matters

To be honest, right now I've got absolutely no money to invest but I'm very curious about the whole process and would like to learn as much as I can about trading for the future.

Can anyone recommend a good place to start learning? I've been on Google, naturally, and found different sites but coming at this as a complete novice with a view to learning I'm hoping someone here can point me in the right direction.
 
Good day today, Llloyds up, Taylor wimpey should hit a new high today or tommorow, and royal mail.

My Weatherpoons shares seem to have recovered a bit as well, they almost got sold at one point when dipping below 10%.

I bought some Macau property opportunities after reading about them in IC in anticipation of rising chinease domestic demand, i also fancy some EADS as well as Airbus seem to be selling plenty of planes and lots of value still to come in those shares but the PE of 19 is a bit offputting as is the low Yield.

I wish i had bought Easyjet shares right after Ryanair announced there results, i was looking at it at the time and thinking the markets reaction via the share price of Easyjet was ridiculous, and it was, it went up loads when they announced there own results which were good, plus you could put money in now and get a guarenteed 5% with the special dividend by the end of March ish.

The share price will fall 5% just after it pays the dividend as the company shares no longer include the cash. The left hand gives your right hand some cash, not an actual gain :p
Selling just before ex div can be best sometimes as the price or capital gain includes the pay out.

Not that Im saying stocks ever really make much sense. I was looking at APF this morning, it paid me 4p cash today but only dropped 1p from tuesday close so I did 'gain' 3p.
But I held it and now its 9p down so actually Im poorer by 5p from tues even though I got 4p cash.
I get taxed on the cash so in retrospect I was richer if selling Tues and buying at 4:29pm today.
I think it can bounce at 200p so thats why Im watching - silver, gold and coal prices are weak. Its a royalties firm

Did alright out of Bushveld mining (BMN) today. Been humming and harring over them for a while but bit the bullet and put money in yesterday, glad I did!
Seems they may have a reasonable way to go too.

Thank you mate, £50 a month would probably be all I could afford for the foreseeable once my new job starts, at least at first.

What's the verdict on trading simulators? Are their any good ones to look out for that wont break the bank?
